if there is anything that I have learned in the past 8 years, it is that the American tolerance for capitalist fuckery has a much higher threshold than I would have predicted, provided that there is someone worse off who we can look down on
I learned what cowards Americand are when it was admitted that the Iraq War was started on lies and everyone just shrugged and went about their day.
Why are they cowards? Why would they care if it doesn't affect their daily lives? Obviously some people care, but the majority would indeed just shrug and go back to making ends meet.
This comes down to the good old “keep the masses fed”. People are being given just the right amount of wealth. Not enough to be free and not too little to revolt.
I like that you asked a question and then answered it.
